I mean I was trying to Broach a theoretical, completely academic, discussion about what could or could not take these satellites out.

Sorry, you were right to post it, I am just saying this is an ongoing thing we have those of us who followed the news have known about for quite some time. Just this last summer or so there was An article In This Very intercept detailing how the feds were streamlining the buying of data broker info and distributing it to agencies, previously agencies bought it individually and many bought the same tranches of information separately.

The whole thing is fucked. It’s a blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment we all know it but the goddamned federal courts are fucking traitors and deserve, something something.

Now with lasers you buy perhaps, what about with the lasers you build?

In the future where Federal Authority is concentrated on robbing and stealing elsewhere, I cannot imagine a high energy beam could not take these motherfuckers out.

I’m wondering from a pure academic standpoint here honest. Like What about a laser?

Any way to help them do that?

Maybe it’s time to crowdsource a satellite killing satellite.

Would the pakistanis be subsumed or uplifted by that comment? That’s a geology joke.

Well that would all depend on the state. But the trust is dead. Used to be the IRS would correct you and give you more money than you claimed on your tax form now if you make a mistake they’ll take it, they’ll try to cheat you out of what your owed.

Anyway my state I tried to claim some money that I had years ago and I never got it so there.

Yeah no shit this news is like over 6 years old, they have been doing this for some time.

Yeah they do not return lost money anymore this is not the 90s.

Mine either brother, good luck.

You wouldn’t blow up your house, it’s not complicated, medieval Chinese did it, you can too, it would be expensive though. Unless you feel like digging 6 to 10 ft down into the Earth, which I have done and is not fun. However, if you can get explosives, that changes everything about getting down that far. You still need a tank, an old fuel oil tank might work even though.

It’s not just deforestation, especially in Orangutan habitats that are endangered. They are also rife with forced labor, ie slave labor. They lure desperate foreigners with promises of good jobs, baiting and switching them with a life of slavery doing hard, very hard labor, including kids. The families can sometimes bail them out by paying several thousand dollars, a lot of money to these impoverished bangladeshis and Indians and the like.

Many of the desparate migrants that can speak english well are now sold to chinese gangs to run romance scams from slave compounds, a 40 billion dollar a year industry just in S. Asia they figure now, pig butchering and the like.

Need to find one without any palm oil, boycott palm oil.

Also where is the wintergreen?

While I don’t know what that means, I did read that when using whatsapp in a bloc where the government has control of the telecommunications, they can see who is messaging who by seeing someone sent and someone received a message at the exact same time. Probably is the same for other encrypted messaging apps. Reported in The Intercept.

I was saying a lot of questionable luigi mangione related things after that happened, I couched it all, never came right out saying anything, but that might have caught up with me. That was several accounts ago but they can tell it’s you still I hear tell even though I use temporary email to sign up.

So reddit admin targets me, no permaban because I abandon accounts after a second violation, or a first now, just in the first week, for something not even close to promoting violence that they held up on appeal.

Can I make an anonymous account? Like use a vpn, I already use a temporary email like guerilla mail to sign up. Or could I even use Tor to access? I actually kind of need it for networking on some of my work stuff.

I can fairly certainly confirm that influnece agents are active on lemmy. Including plenty of US government connected ones ginning up support for the Iran war. Especially on the larger .world accounts it appears.

I’m glad they violated my account for a non violation and denied my appeal in the first week of opening a new account then. They aren’t trying to make their moderation believable, I’m persona non grata for whatever reasons, to appease the administration I presume.

Fuck them, glad I stayed off. I kind of need the help on some stuff though, there just aren’t enough people or communities on here yet.
